Hangover is what happens to a person, the morning following the night when he / she have way too many drinks. It is characterized by headache and a dehydrated body. There are a lot of cures to hangover from drinking black coffee, to having lemon juice to sucking lemons and lots of other “gharelu” tips. But the best cure for a hangover (which happens to be “non-gharelu”) is to have another couple of pegs as soon as you get the hangover. This sounds good… its like making love to a woman in the night and followed by a quickie early next morning.

So does this mean I am drunk and I am nursing a hangover as I am writing this? The answer is no… I am not nursing a hangover and neither did I have drinks last night. So the next logical question that follows would be… then what is this hangover about? According to a research conducted by Mr. Iyer, a hangover doesn’t just apply to just drinks. It applies to a lot of other things in life. Okay, go ahead, ask me… don’t feel shy… ask me… where all does hangover apply? Good question… let me answer that…

I am sure hangover applies to rains. Yes it does… I mean it just did today. Generally, here in Mumbai, it stops raining by the end of September. October is supposed to be very hot followed by some coolness in the months of November – February. But then this year, it rained so much (remember 26/7), so much so that, it went out of limits. And now… the rains are nursing a hangover. Now that its time to stop raining… its raining tits and bits… raining heavily sometimes… raining here and there… what else could this be other than an hangover. Can’t the gods keep rain in its limits? Too much of everything is bad… and on top of it, you have little more of what you already had too much, just in the lame excuse of a hangover. Come on rains… its over… you can stop raining… and leave us to the “October Heat”…

Hangovers must also be applicable to studious “padhakoo” type students. These kind of students are the “mugger” types who keep studying throughout the year. They keep studying so much that, as soon as the exams come to an end, they get a hangover. And what better solution to the hangover than reading the same thing again. For example the guy has around 20 chapters for his syllabus. He rattofies all 20 of them before exams and finally gives the exam. As soon as the exam is over, he nurses the hangover by reading any two chapters out of those 20. God bless these kind of men / women.

I am sure hangover happens to Bloggers too. After getting an overdose of reading Blogs or writing Blogs, what does one do next? Read another blog or write another post. I don’t know about others but I sure do that… and that is a great hangover to nurse… don’t believe me? Read the Blogs of the ones on my list… all of them are very capable of giving you a hangover and at the same time curing them… try it at your own risk :)

winny: i am never alone in CT... so if i do get hangovers from being in there, i always have company of atleast abhi and bird... and bird doesnt have hangover of flying... he has hangover of reading... and he reads more to cure that..

abhi: now i know why bird doesnt join us on weekends... he lies to us saying he's reading... and last saturday i caught him red-handed (or let me say drink handed) at CT... i wonder why bird couldnt tell us that he was having drinks with his college mates?

apoo: you are right... do you have the MIB wala torch thingy... we can accomplish a lot with that by using it on winny :)
